"All these Eastern Europeans, where are they coming from?"


She went on: We keep spending most out lives, livin' in a nazi paradise. Yes, you can't even call a bigot a bigot anymore. It's political correctness gone mad. Ok, maybe you half-deserve it if you're too cowardly to say it to their face.

The latest Tory poster (apparently an example of positive campaigning), neatly parodied here, set me back on an old bugbear of mine. Why is 'discipline' only good enough for the unruly? Why not apply it to everyone, if it's so great? If it's so great we can have caning everymorning, for all children, in the face. Then the slackers will become taught, the dreamy will be attentive, the ones doing just enough to get by will race ahead. Lets raise a generation of kamikaze pilots, say what you like about the mikado, their fighter pilots did as they were told... everyone did as they were told.

Expand this further. The death penalty is apparently a deterrant to murder. If it's a deterrant why not use it for all crime, all the time? We need summary executions for everything... except for murder, which is the one crime that's never weighed up rationally before being committed.

Everyone's indulging their inner fascist. Let's indulge our outer partisan.
